Published on Feb 24, 2014 The song most associated with MUNGO JERRY is the global hit IN THE SUMMERTIME, it sold over six million copies worldwide in the first six months of release and that total is now estimated to be over a staggering thirty million units, and it is now officially recognised as the most played summer song of all time. Winning for itself and its writer RAY DORSET, prestigious Sony / ATV and Ivor Novello awards.

In describing the music of MUNGO JERRY as pure pop would be an insult to the varying styles of rock, blues, boogie and skiffle that has graced the stages of concerts and festivals which have seen MUNGO JERRY sharing and indeed at times topping the bill with the likes of JIMI HENDRIX, ELTON JOHN, ROD STEWART & THE FACES, GENESIS, STATUS QUO, CANNED HEAT, FREE. Just after the single's release, the band turned in a breathtaking performance at the Hollywood Music Festival, near Newcastle Under-Lyme with acts including BLACK SABBATH, TRAFFIC, JOSE FELICIANO and making their first UK appearance, GRATEFUL DEAD. Soon after, the music press screamed their approval with headlines of - MUNGOMANIA! and MUNGO JERRY FEVER!

The long awaited follow-up to 'In the SUMMERTIME' was 'BABY JUMP', which also made No 1, it was a Hard rocking Ray Dorset composition much influenced by his Rock a Billy connections, then another of his compositions, Lady Rose, became the third Mungo maxi single and made No 3 in the charts, only failing to make the No 1 spot because of the fact that a track on the maxi, "Have A Whiff On Me", Was banned by the BBC because of it's drug connotations, and had to be re-pressed at the request of the Director of Public Prosecutions. 1973 saw one of MUNGO JERRY's biggest hits, 'ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT' race up the charts to No.3 with the follow-up WILD LOVE charting and LONG LEGGED WOMAN DRESSED IN BLACK' continuing the hit making sequence along with songs like 'HELLO NADINE' , 'IT'S A SECRET'. FORGOTTEN LAND and LET'S GET STARTED etc.

1980 saw RAY DORSET back at No.1, when Scottish singer KELLY MARIE hit the top spot with his composition Feels Like I'm In Love. During the 80's, Ray Dorset turned his talents towards writing the music for two popular television shows -PAUL DANIELS children's TV show, 'WIZBIT', and the Thames comedy/drama serial, 'PROSPECTS'. No history of MUNGO JERRY would be complete without mention of the project in which, Ray invited rock legends, PETER GREEN, formerly of FLEETWOOD MAC and VINCENT CRANE of ATOMICROOSTER, to a jam at his home studio which resulted in the KATMANDU album, 'A CASE FOR THE BLUES'. In 1995 Shaggy released a new reggae version of 'IN THE SUMMERTIME' complete with samples of Ray's voice and guitar, it reached number 5 in the UK singles chart, but more importantly topped the charts in theUSA, meaning that the song had now hit the top spot in every major territory in the world.

Instead of simply resting on his laurels and living off the success of the world's biggest selling Summer song In The Summertime. Ray Dorset aka Mungo Jerry has in this new millennium maintained his reputation as the King of the Groove by releasing some of his best and strongest work and Mungo Jerry's live stage performance has been much acclaimed at Blues, Jazz and Rock Festivals throughout the world.

| Life | Life & Style | Daily Express PUBLISHED: 00:01, Sat, Apr 26, 2014 Lead singer Ray Dorset continues to tour with the band[SAT MAG] Pop band Mungo Jerry enjoyed massive success in the early 1970s with hits including In The Summertime, Baby Jump, and Alright, Alright, Alright. Lead singer Ray Dorset continues to tour with the band. Now 68 and a father of six, he lives with third wife Britta in Bournemouth. “I was born in Middlesex. My parents both sang and played piano but it never occurred to me that music may be my destiny until I received a spooky prophecy from a fortune-telling slot machine on Hayling Island when I was only 10. The message read, ‘The happiest part of your life is going to be mixed in music, you’ll write songs.’ “About a year later, skiffle music came out, I got a washboard and I was off. Drummer for my first band, Blue Moon Skiffle Group, was Phil Collins – but not that Phil Collins as has become myth.

My early 60s group The Tramps played alternate gigs with The Rolling Stones at the Station Hotel in Richmond. I was writing songs for fun, but then, in just 10 minutes, I wrote a song that became an international number one: In The Summertime. “When In The Summertime topped the charts in the UK, I was working in a lab for Timex and had to ask my boss for time off to do Top Of The Pops. We had loads of hits, including another number one with Baby Jump, and played a festival in Rotterdam in front of 100,000 people when we blew Pink Floyd off stage. “Since 1972, I’ve had the name Mungo Jerry. There have been many changes to the line-up down the decades. Of the other original members, Mike Cole (bass) is semi-retired and does a bit of teaching music and antique dealing, Colin Earl (piano) suffered a stroke and is not playing any more, Paul King (banjo) plays in pubs, and Joe Rush (percussion) is an artist who builds cars and sand yachts and lives in France.

Now 68 and a father of six, Ray lives with third wife Britta in Bournemouth [SAT MAG] “In the late 70s, I opted out of the mainstream and took the independent route. I wrote the song Feels Like I’m In Love for Elvis Presley, but he died before he got to record it and it became a number one in 1980 for Kelly Marie. Mungo Jerry remain big in countries like Germany, Switzerland and Poland and over the past few years I’ve played major jazz and blues festivals. “Each of my three marriages has produced two children and I also have three grandchildren. I married my present wife, Britta, in 1995. We sold our home in her native Germany and moved completely to Bournemouth, where we’ve been based since 1994 and own two houses and a restaurant. I should be retired, but my brain is like that of an 18 year old. “I reckon In The Summertime is probably the best-known song around the world, apart from maybe Happy Birthday and White Christmas. When Clive James was asked to choose a world anthem, he chose In The Summertime. It does bring a lot of people together.

It’s a kind of celebration of life.” Top 30 Summer Songs | Billboard Top 30 Summer Songs COMMENTS Chart Article The sun is shining, and the beaches will soon be crowded, which can only mean one thing: Summer is underway. To celebrate the return of our favorite season, we've scoured the Billboard chart archives and updated this definitive list of the most popular songs about summer ever recorded. Summer Albums: 30 Hot LPs | Summer Music Central 2014 These 30 hot tunes with summer-specific themes are ranked based on each track's performance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart from August 4, 1958 -- the inception of the chart -- through the chart dated May 31, 2014. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least.

Text by Courtney Baldasare, Melanie Fried, Gabriella Landsman, and Jessica Letkemann 1 "Surfin' Safari," The Beach Boys (1962) As is often the case, the Beach Boys pay homage to their favorite sport in their 1962 pop hit "Surfin' Safari," with lines about loading up their Woodie -- that's a 'board-friendly station wagon for you gremmies -- and inviting the world to the best beaches for waves. With a catchy beat and great harmonies, the song reaffirmed surf tunes' appeal, residing on the Hot 100 for 17 weeks. 2 "Summertime," Billy Stewart (1966) Perhaps one of the most widely covered tunes, "Summertime" epitomizes the season's lighthearted ethos. Billy Stewart's 1966 crossover rendition, which is embellished with jazzy horns, bluesy guitar, and funky, scatting vocals, peaked at No. 10 on the Hot 100.

3 "Wipeout," Fat Boys and the Beach Boys (1987) The rap-n-surf-guitar track came complete with a skit-y video featuring the ultimate boys of summer, the Beach Boys and the Fat Boys, the ultimate '80s hip-hop boys of dinner, throwing hula hoops and surfboards into the car for a sojourn to the beach. Not that anyone really needed to see either the Fat Boys in board shorts or the Beach Boys scrachin' on the turntables. Wipeout, indeed. 4 "Cruel Summer," Bananarama (1983) For summer days when you're feeling down, Bananarama's "Cruel Summer" is the companion who understands your discontent. The somewhat downbeat dance-pop track, which cozied up to the Hot 100 in 1983, bemoans the harsh heat of loneliness that can make any summer a drag. 5 "Summertime Blues," Eddie Cochran (1958) Eddie Cochran knows how much it sucked to be a teenager, even back in 1958.

His slightly rebellious hit "raised a holler" about just how much of a bummer it is to have to work all summer instead of frolicking with your girl and your friends. The tune, appropriately featured in the 1980 film "Caddyshack," may claim there's no cure for the summertime blues, but we'd guess it sure beats sitting in school. 6 "A Summer Song," Chad & Jeremy (1964) Capturing the sweet sadness of saying farewell to summer love, Chad & Jeremy employ delicate, simple vocals over chugging drums and rich acoustic guitar plucks. In this tune, which entered the Hot 100 in 1964, the folk rock duo reminds the listener that there are always the memories to keep you warm in the fall. 7 "Suddenly Last Summer," The Motels (1983) For those with any nostalgia for the decade of Pac-Man and leg warmers, The Motels' "Suddenly Last Summer," which peaked on the Hot 100 in 1983, will satisfy any craving for '80s summer music.

Over a catchy drum beat and spacey guitar, the emotionally distraught Martha Davis explains in a hot, dusty voice that though the seasons change, that doesn't mean the summer has to end. 8 "Surfer Girl," The Beach Boys (1963) The Beach Boys' name alone should conjure images of summer, with the Cali group's many carefree songs about surfing, cars, and girls. Peaking on the Hot 100 at No. 7 in 1963, "Surfer Girl," a romantic ballad channeling the likes of '50s doo wop, is no exception, with vocal harmonies that will make you yearn for a summer fling with whom to sway along. 9 "Summer Breeze," Seals & Crofts (1972) Seals and Crofts' classic is everything the season's about: mellow vibes. The fellas let the wind blow through their locks on this one. Back in '72, this single peaked at No. 6 on the Hot 100.

10 "School's Out," Alice Cooper (1972) With heavy eyeliner and a snarling, guitar-driven swagger, Alice Cooper took the sweet, innocent idea of the first day of summer break, and turned it into an emancipation proclamation for ditching class permanently. School, he growled, was not only out for summer, "School's out forever!" The gritty tune peaked at No. 7 on the Hot 100 in 1972.

11 "Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days Of Summer," Nat King Cole (1963) &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;div class="unit-2"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;strong&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Nat King Cole&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/strong&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;div class="links"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;strong&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;1963&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/strong&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/div&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;div class="links"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp

;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;strong&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/strong&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/div&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/div&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;div class="bottom-unit"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Nat King Cole's rhyme happy 1963 hit is an oldie but goodie in the truest sense of the phrase.

Well into the rock era, it peaked at No. 6 on the Hot 100. Between the charm of Cole's warm voice and the "soda and pretzels and beer" he sings about, it's no wonder this tune is still familiar decades later.&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/div&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; Cole's bouncing seasonal cut makes the kind of demands we can appreciate: "Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer." Yes, we'll get right on it! 12 "Summer Love," Justin Timberlake (2007) While many summer tunes are relaxed, breezy numbers, Justin Timberlake took his danceable 2007 "Summer Love" in a refreshingly poppy, electronic direction. Timberlake devotees and casual fans alike flocked to the song, giving it a No. 6 climax on the Hot 100.

13 "Saturday In The Park," Chicago (1972) With brassy horns blowing like a cool breeze off Lake Michigan, Chicago's "real celebration" of a hot July day in the park took sights and sounds like people laughing and a man selling ice cream all the way to No. 3 on the Hot 100 in 1972. "Can you dig it?" they sing. Yes, we can. 14 "Summer Girls," LFO (1999) The theme song to many a youthful turn of the millennium summer night, "Summer Girls" is the solid hit from the cheesy dreamboats of LFO. This 1999 lyrical masterpiece ("When I met you I said my name was Rich / You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch," anyone?) spent 17 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 3. 15 "California Girls," The Beach Boys (1965) By the mid-'60s, the Beach Boys were the kings of surf music.

In 1965, the west coast poster boys for the genre sent "California Girls," a sunny paean to the merits of Cali ladies above all attractive women from anywhere else, all the way to No. 3 on the Hot 100. 16 "Summer," War (1976) War's 1976 soulful slow jam "Summer" earned its peaked at No. 7 on the Hot 100 with then up-to-the-minute lyrics about cruising around town "with all the window down / eight track playin' all your favorite sounds." Including bongos, apparently. Do they make bell-bottom shorts? The tune starts at 2:24 in the video. 17 "Under The Boardwalk," The Drifters (1964) In the summer of 1964, the Drifters saw their dreamy tune about catching some shade and some steamy good times literally under the boardwalk at the beach spent lots of quality time on the Hot 100. The tune has become a summer staple covered by many, including Bruce Willis and the Tempations.

18 "Summer Of '69," Bryan Adams (1985) A mid-'80s Bryan Adams, who had a clear penchant for leather and tight jeans, released "Summer of '69" in 1985 and sent it to No. 5 on the Hot 100. This anthem of playing his "first real six-string" and meeting a summer sweetie at the drive-in is a classic, nostalgic ode to the summer of the "the best days of my life." 19 "In The Summertime," Mungo Jerry (1970) The boys of Mungo Jerry handed the world the ultimate laid-back summer track when they released the vaguely tropical jam "In the Summertime" in 1970. The U.K. group's only major U.S. hit, the tune also scored lots of chart love for Shaggy in the summer of 1995. His remake rose all the way to No. 3 on the Hot 100.

20 "The Boys Of Summer," Don Henley (1984) "I can tell you my love for you will still be strong / after the boys of summer have gone," croons Don Henley as he patiently awaits the departure of his estranged love's summer flings so he can regain his ex's affection. The 1984 top five hit, which ironically hit the charts during the holiday season, also scored Henley the Grammy award for Best Male Rock Vocal performance. 21 "Summer Nights," John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John (1978) Popular everywhere from bar mitzvahs to karaoke bars, "Summer Nights" is one of those great movie songs that appeal to everyone. Made famous by John Travolta and Olivia Newton Jones in the movie "Grease" in 1978, the legacy of Danny and Sandy's summer fling lives on in the faux-'50s tune that warmed up to the top five at the height of the disco era.

22 "Hot Fun In The Summertime," Sly & The Family Stone (1969) With a mellow, funky horns and bassline and soulful vocals, Sly & the Family Stone's easy-going hit entered the Hot 100 the same month the group played the most iconic summer festival of all time, Woodstock. In the tune, each member expresses a line about what they love most about summer, however they all agree, "That's when I had most of my fun... those summer days." Particularly the summer days when you manage to be part of music history. 23 "Surfin' U.S.A.," The Beach Boys (1963) Namechecking every popular surfing spot, The Beach Boys certainly did their research for summer jam "Surfin' U.S.A." They sang they'd be gone all summer, and hey, if they didn't make it back before school starts, "tell the teacher we're surfing." The song, a reworking of the tune from Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen," reached the top five of the Hot 100 in 1963.

24 "Summertime," DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince (1991) "This is the Fresh Prince's new definition of summer madness," rapped Will Smith before he was an international movie star back in 1991 when he was still the rapping cohort of DJ Jazzy Jeff and a newly-minted sitcom actor. Smith was giving props to their sample of Kool & the Gang's "Summer Madness," and that hook helped the duo earn a No. 4 peak on the Hot 100. 25 "Endless Summer Nights," Richard Marx (1988) "Endless Summer Nights" finds Richard Marx waxing hopeful about a summer fling he wants to develop into more, despite his girl's resistance. This ballad must've done the trick, because he later married the woman he was on vacation with when he was inspired to write the song. "Endless Summer Nights" reached No. 2 on the Billboard charts in 1988.

26 "Surf City," Jan & Dean (1963) "We're goin' to Surf City / 'cause its two to one" sing Jan and Dean of the girl-to-guy ratio that awaits them in some tasty beachside locale - that is, if their '30 Ford Wagon doesn't break down along the way. The surf rock track rode the airwaves to No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 1963. 27 "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini, Bryan Hyland (1960) Decades before Yoplait turned it into the soundtrack to a commercial about achieving your summer perfect beach body, in 1960 Bryan Hyland hit with this ode to one girl so shy about showing her daring two-piece swimsuit at the beach that she sat wrapped up in a blanket and then hid in the water until she turned blue. 28 "Wipe Out," The Surfaris (1962) Summer anthems are often defined by the sing-a-long factor.

Aside from the manic laugh and shriek of the song's title at the beginning, The Surfaris' "Wipeout" is the exception to the rule, with almost 3 minutes of surf-guitar instrumental magic and one of the most memorable drum beats of all time. 29 "Summer In The City," The Lovin' Spoonful (1966) "All around, people lookin' half dead... But at night, it's a different world," sings John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful, contrasting a New York summer's day with the vibrant nightlife of rooftops cats out looking for kitties he much prefers. "Summer in the City," complete with honking cabs and jackhammers, scored the band a No. 1 hit on the Hot 100 in 1966. 30 "California Gurls," Katy Perry feat. Snoop Dogg (2010) With an unabashedly synthy beat and breathy vocals about a "warm, wet and wild" place and the women you find there, how could Katy Perry's perfectly timed hit -- with a smooth assist from Snoop Dogg, not have been the top song of summer 2010 ?

In fact the song was so huge, it leapt from No. 18 when we first published this chart in May 2010 to No. 1 just one year later, beating out over 50 years of other hot summer songs.
